LCRC Hosts 1st District Committee Meeting - 02/19/2011

First District Committee Meeting

Nominations/Elections

for 2011

Wow! In spite of the fact Congressman Crawford was 
unable to attend, because he was doing the job we sent 

him to DC to perform, what an electric meeting!

A large crowd gathered for the first Committee meeting

and Elections for the New Year. There were about

one hundred and twenty (+/-) people in attendance.

The registration line just kept coming, and 
coming and coming . . . 

Just like this post keeps going and going and going!
So many good shots were available which made
it impossible to include each and every one. 200 plus 
photos are not what you came here to see! Paring
down the number was difficult. Still, I apologize for this
post being so large. I hope you are able to stay with it.

Greeters/Registrars : Dorothy Crockett and Barbara Francis

Nelda Speaks

Thanks for your diligence and labors, Ladies!

Here comes the crowd!
